#1 Like how long is he going to live if he gives up power?

#2 Previous Pak military dictators like Yahya Khan and Ayub Khan lived quite normally long after they were forced out of power.
The exception was Zia Ul Haq, who clung to power and had his plane sabotaged.

#3 of course he is not quitting. He is a little tyrant. Has a little tyrant ever left office voluntarily? Anyone? Bueller?

#4 Why should he quit? The Presidency is an elected office. Should American presidents, before popular elections, have resigned when their party lost the Congressional majority?

#5 If Yahya Khan could have a peaceful retirement, then so can Perv.

No Pak leader was as hated as Yahya. He was blamed for the humiliating defeat in the 1971 war when Pakistan lost half its territory.
A war criminal resposible for genocide, he faced no trial.

A drunkard and a womanizer, he was detested by many in the military. At one air force base, after being forced from power, he was cursed by the ground crew as he disembarked. He asked "What is their $%^& problem? Did I take away their she-goat"?

#6 An Islamic Larry Craig. Well, in the not quitting sense at least.
